"I was having an issue where, not only could I not get the speaker to power on, but when placing it on the adapter (to resolve 'protection mode' issue) the speaker chimed the sound indicating charging, but no LED lights would illuminate to indicate that it was in fact charging. It would chime again when removed from the adapter, but would not turn on either way.

I fixed it by doing a hard reset as recommended by BOSE troubleshooting:

Hold mute button for 5 seconds (if successful, LEDs will flash- mine did)>Press power button to turn on.

Note: Bose advises you may have to re-pair devices after performing this reset. This was not necessary for me.

Hope this helps!"

Is it because of the size of the battery or because it charges slowly. My father has one, he charged it but it doesn't turn on. Does it need a better charger or a new battery or what?

"I had the same issue with my Bose mini 1st generation and this happened when it ran out of battery same day of using it. So there is No lights (red,yellow or green) on even when it's on the cradle or directly plug in to ac outlet (Considering the ac adapter and cradle has working status / power), because each time you plug and unplug it, it has a sound thingi..

Ok now - The solution I did while it's PLUG in:

1) Press and Hold Power button for 15 sec (no worries even if you will not see any lights on)-this is the Reset.

2) Press and Hold Mute button for about 15 sec (you will see couple lights will turn on as an indicator your Bose is not busted)

3) Now Press the power (just 1 sec) and bingo!..power lights indicator comes on either a yellow or red (it needs charging). Mine had a blinking yellow.

Seems it went to a protective mode or something

Note: I did this a few times by experimenting and combining 1 and 2 simultaneously.

I hope this helps! Good luck guys!"

Mine keeps blinking red and I charged it for four hours and it still won't turn on after... it won't turn on even when it's plugged in. But I've done step 2 and some lights turn on and the batt is yellow, then when I try to turn it on it still won't.

Is it a problem with the battery or the entire thing needs to be changed? Is it advisable to remove the battery and plug it in to see if it still works without it? Ive had mine for 2 years and I don't use it all the time so maybe it's why it went into ""protective mode"" or something

Need insights on what to do. Thank you!"
